Hopefully, the postal carrier will leave them on my porch today (or tomorrow). The post office is WAY out of my way.

Sorry for the questions Tripwire, I guess I will find out myself when I get my clears, but is installing the bulb harness necessary? Will the clear markers fit over the existing bulb harness, Yes or No? Or is the bulb harness necessary because the japanese 'yellow' bulb does not fit in the US spec harness.
The "orange" markers that are already in the car contain a clear light bulb.
The "clear" markers that we're getting from JT come with the connector and bulb already affixed to the marker with an amber bulb.
It's all included, but I see what you're saying, and had I been as insightful as you I would have saved myself a lot of pain by trying to get the electrical connector off -- it took a while the first time -- when I could have just removed the bulb holder from the marker and swapped out the bulbs. I'm a moron - I should have though of that earlier. oh well.
The bulb assembly looks exactly the same. The only differences are the color, and the clear markers are more aerodynamically shaped.

Thanks Tripwire,
Now to go one step further if you guys want to replace the yellow bulb with one of these clear one's at www.stealthauto.com . This is just an aesthetic choice but will make the car look cleaner since it will be totally white instead of seeing a yellow bulb showing through the clear side marker. Go to to the webpage to understand what I am trying to say.
The part number is 194 according to Trip's post above.

Unscrew the black screws from the wheel wells. when you're doing the front right tire, turn your steering wheel to the left. peel back the black plastic a bit, there should be a single screw, get a philips head and unscrew it, push out the parking light. you can leave it connected - as it was a nightmare for me to get off - then you unscrew the lamp from the parking light.
extract the bulb and swap it with the amber bulb, pop in the clear marker, screw it down, and twist-lock the bulb holder into place.
and yer done.
hope that helps.

Ricer is Nicer.....
The Doctor is in the clear......
Thanks to JT Imports, I am 'in the clear!'
Arrived today, (with no typhoon damage!)
Now the calipers are red and the markers are clear!
Looks great, the bulb is a 194 for those interested...

Does anyone know the part numbers for the "amber" bulbs in the front and rear of the vehicle - the turn signals? I'd like to put in the "stealth" bulbs there, but I don't know the part numbers.

You'll love the new look.
By the way, the clip is released from the very back of the connector receptacle (a small grooved pad that pushes down to release). Finding this first will save you a lot of time and trouble.
